Most of you have probably seen this handy site before, but for us uninformed few it is still a handy learning tool:
Online Depth of Field Calculator
Just don't get too carried away by all this geeky calculation business, simply learn what you can then get out and shoot photos in real everyday situations. It's still the best way to learn!
(Although it's kinda fun to release the inner geek just a little bit! Haha!)

Shooters!
I'm sure I posted this a long time ago, but I am revisiting some of my old pics. This one is from a small town in South Africa called Potchefstroom, and once a year they have a big "cultural" festival that has degenerated into an excuse to drink too much alcohol and behave badly.
If I remember correctly, this was shot with a Nikon F65 and 50mm f1.8D combination. A real light weight setup at the time and great for "street" pics! Ilford XP2 Super 400 film, if memory serves...

Harbour in Lomma, Sweden.
3 second exposure with camera propped firmly down onto a jetty while I am lying flat on my stomach.
I tore a strip off the skin of my little finger getting down on the old worn wood of the jetty, I console myself with the knowledge that at last I am suffering for my art! ;-)

Nikkor AF-S DX Micro 40mm f/2.8G
As long as you don't need to get too close to small creatures that might be scared witless by the front element of the lens looming menacingly at them causing them to take off to safer pastures, this lens makes an excellent bang for not much buck!

"Walking Street", Copenhagen, Denmark.
Thousands of people and not a single smile among them. What gives in Copenhagen?
Taken with the fantastic el-cheapo Nikon Coolpix L21.
